E-commerce Websites and mobile applications have gained popularity over the last few years as they help a business by increasing their visibility, driving more sales, and accelerating business growth.
Distributors can provide branded online storefronts to their dealers with the help of the dealer portal for Epicor P21. The following are the features of the online storefront for the dealers-
1. Automated transfer of product information from the distributor’s P21 systems- The dealer’s website has all the product information- product description, cost, specifications etc. that is drawn from the distributor’s database.
2. Automated order fulfilment and management - orders from the dealer’s website are sent directly to the distributor’s systems which are responsible for shipping the product directly to the end customer. This facilitates the order fulfilment process, improving the customer experience and boosting sales. Without this system in place, dealers will have to communicate all the details back and forth, which might be a hassle and not a viable option. It will be difficult to scale up the operations without an efficient system.
3. Easy access to real-time product pricing and live inventory- Dealers can view updated pricing and inventory details in real-time. The live pricing helps to set up their markups. If the prices are changed and this system is not in place, it will lead to irregularities in the system or if a particular product is out-of-stock but the inventory on the dealer’s website is not updated, it may lead to a poor customer experience whose order may get cancelled afterwards.
4. Flexibility to sell own products as well- The dealer websites can host their products and products from multiple distributors for sale as well. The distributors can access their data as and when needed using the login administration tools.
